Decisive decisions were made at the Cabinet meeting chaired by the Crown Prince

The Saudi Cabinet held its regular session, chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. The session addressed a range of vital issues concerning national and regional security, in addition to reviewing the economic and scientific achievements the Kingdom is realizing under Vision 2030, emphasizing the Kingdom's leading role in maintaining regional stability.

Strong condemnation of terrorist attacks and protection of Gulf security

In a firm stance reflecting the Kingdom's commitment to regional stability, the Cabinet reiterated its strongest condemnation of the blatant attacks targeting the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. The Cabinet clarified that these attacks were carried out by drones launched from Iraqi territory. This position comes within a historical context marked by repeated attempts by militias supported by regional actors to destabilize the security and stability of the Middle East. The Kingdom consistently affirms that the security of the Gulf states is indivisible and that it will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and national achievements from any external interference.

Praising the heroism of the Saudi Armed Forces

The Council highly commended the heroic role and constant vigilance of the Saudi Armed Forces across all its branches. The Air Defense Forces and other military sectors demonstrated unparalleled bravery in confronting and thwarting the heinous Iranian attacks and their dangerous repercussions before they could achieve their objectives. This high level of competence ensures the Kingdom remains an oasis of security and stability, and supports its steady progress, positively impacting regional and international stability. It also underscores Riyadh's ability to address various security challenges with firmness and resolve, drawing strength from God Almighty.

The resilience of the Saudi energy system and its global impact

On the economic and operational front, the Cabinet commended the outstanding success of the technical and operational efforts that led to the restoration of production at several energy facilities damaged by terrorist attacks. Historically, the Kingdom, as the world’s most reliable energy supplier, has demonstrated exceptional crisis management capabilities. This rapid recovery reflects the high operational resilience of the Saudi energy sector’s infrastructure. This efficiency not only safeguards the domestic economy but also plays a pivotal role in stabilizing global energy markets and protecting the international economy from sharp fluctuations.

Scientific achievements in the space sector enhance Vision 2030

In the context of scientific and technological advancements, the Cabinet highlighted the new national achievement in space exploration: the launch of the Shams satellite and the success of its mission. What distinguishes this achievement is that it was accomplished entirely by Saudi national talent and expertise, who undertook the manufacturing and development processes. This event falls within the framework of the national strategy aimed at fostering scientific innovation and creativity, and localizing advanced technologies, in line with the aspirations to build a robust economy based on knowledge and modern technology.
